  • ACTIVE BATTERY BALANCING CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF BALANCING AN ELECTRIC CHARGE IN A PLURALITY OF CELLS OF A BATTERY
    Publication number: 20130214724
    Abstract: A method and an active battery balancing circuit for balancing an electric charge in a plurality of cells of a battery that are electrically connected in series is disclosed. A first subset of the cells of the battery is electrically connected to an inductance for providing a current flow from the first subset through the inductance. The first subset of the cells is disconnected from the inductance, and a current is allowed to flow from the inductance into a second subset of the cells of the battery. At least one of the first and the second subset of the cells of the battery comprises two or more cells.
